It may not be out yet in North America, or Europe but Soul Sacrifice has already made its way to Japan in a big way... with just the demo. Coming to Japan gamers on March 7th (almost two months before us), this game is packed with innovation and awesome game play; from how your choices effect your body and powers, to the magic system it uses for combat. In what other game can you free an opponent, hit them with a giant rock hand, and then consume their soul? None I know of.
The premise is simple - you play as slave that serves a powerful and evil sorcerer. Just before the you are going to be sacrificed, a demon in the form of a book appears before you. The book is a collection of stories that describe past fights between monsters and the sorcerer who holds you captive; by using it you're able to enter the book's world and experience the fights, thereby gaining experience and power.
I was skeptical but hopeful about this game before I tried it; but now I know I'll be a day one buyer.
